THE SNOW.

Winter At Last Asserts Her Rights To Reign-LiveIy Times In the City -The Christmas Shopping.
 Winter has at last, after period of back wardness and diffdence unusual to the blus- tering old fellow, asserted it's supremacy.
 The last horse cars had hardly got housed in their respective barns Saturday night before driving snow storm set in, soon whitening the earth and accompanied by high wind which made windows rattle and signs creak, and sent the snow driving hard against the window glass and blinds. It looked as if a
 heavy snowfall was coming, but the wind over four inches on the level. Still it was a good beginning of winter and it frightened up the young folks amazingly, bringing vis- ions of coasting and rides down hill in con- junction with the joys of Christmas. The high wind slashed around at lively rate among the telegraph wires, crossing many of them, and the line repairers were busy yes-
 terday. Saturday was lively day in Chap
 el street stores and the Christmas buying
 was very brisk, and together with the G. A.
 fair times were lively enough. The horse
 car lines were sometimes taxed to carry all
 the people who were out, especially so in the
 afternoon and evening. The Christmas goods stores present very attractive appear
 ance inside and out and the people enjoy get
 ting out to see the displays. The Santa
 Claus spirit in New Haven this year is
 strong and the merchants anticipate large
 sales, the yearg past having been, on the
 whole, a very prosperous one. The snow
 gives new zest to the Christmas feeling, and
 if Christmas does come on Sunday this year.
 the day will no doubt be celebrated next
 Monday in a spirited manner.

"What do you think of MT. Barnum's last list of prospective curiosities," asked our re- porter of Mr. D. s. Thomas. "We often smile over the gullibility of our country friends" said Mr. Thomas, "but really they are no more easily fooled than the editors of city papers, The former will stand for hours alongside of barn and gaze with open mouth at colored poster representing full grown horse walking a telegraph wire across a river one thousand feet below. The next day perhaps the editor will be caught by a clipping that Mir. Barnum has just donated $2OO, 900 to struggling young divinity col- lege. The countryman will walk to town through the mud to witness MT. Barnum himself lead a street pageant two miles long composed exclusively of gold and silver chariots drawn by two or three thousand Arabian stallions, and carrying in gilded canopies medley of genuine Turkish harems direct from Constantinople. But on the same day the average city editor will stop the press to insert telegram that Mr- Barnun has just completed arrangements to take the whole show to Europe next year, and advise his readers that if they ever intend to see the wild West they had better go now or there will be no other opportunity for years to come. It is early enough to satisfy the ordinary country visitor to the show when they ln- quire for the mummy tent by Informing them that the mummies are dead-the late hot weather was too much for them-but 1t is just as easy to satisfy the average reporter for newspaper that our Baxter street canni- bals came from the Fiji Islands. No, in the matter of swallowing extravagant snakes and i.npo sibe mastodons. I can see but little choice between the rustic from the back woods and the editor of daily paper"

is not surprising when we consider the facts in the case. Diseased fathers. weak and ex- hausted mothers, climatic changes dangerous to the life of even the hardened adult; the extreme heat of summer that strikes down the strongest; the constant dosing of delicate stomachs and weak brains with calomel pow ders and mercurials, or the simplifying of brain and smothering of heart with deadly soothing and cordial doses.
 t'Diseased or debilitated parents cannot have healthy children, said the late Profess sor Willard Parker. And it is true. Why then do not mothers at once build up their systems, enrich their blood, steady and re- store their brain and nerves, carry off all poisons by the bowels and put themselves in strong and vigorous health of brain and body by such food and remedy as Scotch Oats Essence? Your chi1d's life, perhaps his sanity and his success in after years depend upon it.
 Besides you have your own reward. Scotch Oats Essence is the only remedy that will give quick, short and painless labor. It will yield you rich, nourishing milk, give phosphorus to your baby's bones, muscles and brain, and strengthen it so that the chances of convulsions and the like are re- duced seventy-fve per cent.
 If the little one is born cast aside all mar cotic syrups, use Scotch Oats Essence your self and give it to baby. It will do it's grand work without your bidding and perhaps save your little one's life. But for it many a cra- dle would be empty today.

CHRISTMAS ATTRACTION
At the New Haven opera House.

At the New Haven opera House.
 Mr. Horace Wall has secured for his
 Christmas attraction the brilliant, romantic
 emotional actor, MT. Robert Mantell, who
 will on this occasion produce his powerful
 heroic drama, :'Monbars." The play, which is adapted from the French of D'Ennery, is full of stirring dramatic situations, and as the hero Mir. Mantsn exceeds any of his past impersonations. Describing life in France during the early years of the century ''Mon- bars" admits of rich and elegant costuming and beautiful presentation is assured. The plot of the drama is interesting from begin ming to end, and the final acts are described as being the most powerful ever seen upon
 the stage.
 A gentleman who saw the performance in Philadelphia few weeks ago says: "I nev- CT saw anything in my life to surpass the al- most holy stiffness of that vast audience dur | ing the fourth act of the play, as they sat watching the acting on the stage. Not 8 movement anywhere, and when at last the awful intensity of the scene was broken by | the fall of the curtain, there was such a ' storm of applause as had never heard be- | fore. It was certainly the greatest piece of | intense acting that it has ever been my pleasure to witness, and I enjoyed it i'm ! mensely." The drama is meeting with great success everywhere, and we feel cer~ tain that MT. Mantell and his excellent sup porting company will prove an interesting Christmas attraction. Tie engagement will open with matinee on Monday, December \ 26, and is for three nights and two matinee \ performances. The box office will be open \ for the sale of tickets tomorrow (Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
